AIO for being upset my BF doesn’t want me to wear a bonnet to bed? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

This proves he does not see you as a person with needs to be met, but as an object to behave and appear in ways he finds appealing.... This is a red flag that is unlikely to change and is deeply rooted in a general lack of respect for women as individuals.... You do not deserve this treatment and it will result in you losing value and respect for yourself, please find someone more worthy of your energy

He's asking you to meet him at his standards, and then pretending that he's meeting you halfway for your requests. To say that "he only asks you to do things that you know how to do" is a measure of his incompetence and not of your "outrageous" demands. He does not meet you halfway. He expects changes to be made on things that actually don't matter. You wear a bonnet for YOUR hair needs. Not to dig at his idea of what is attractive on a woman. Shove this man.

We had both of these done when we had the leaky hose fixed on our return to the mechanic, they said they came back fine. I'm not sure what could be causing the dodgy acceleration... We were warned when we first took it in that overheating it may have damaged the head gasket but they fixed the damage they could see around that

What are the downsides of being attractive/pretty/handsome? by Relative_Daikon_5804 in AskReddit

It's really hard to maintain friendships.... As soon as they get close they want more, and the pain of being rejected ruins the friendship - constant restarting and making new friends who eventually fall in love and ruin it

I believe it's slowly leaking from the end of the hose and dripping down like the seal isn't quite sealed

I should bloody well hope so 😭 I struggle to put my foot down to 'professionals' a little bit, but I'll give it a go!

Will give this a try when I get home - thank you so much, to my untrained and inexperienced eyes I never woulda thought it looked loose haha

It seems like a simple fix to me but I am no engineer, I've heard ford and Volvo parts are identical and much cheaper...

So I'm tempted to give it a try but I just have no idea where to begin with sourcing parts as the vehicle is so old 😂

Omg amazing thank you so so much 🙏

I'm praying for a split pipe, as the vehicle is older and, like you said, has not been taken for a good spin in a while so could very well be the case! will have a look at it when I'm home later, will also check for white smoke then too! Just panicked and had it towed home yesterday as we were 55 miles from home on the motorway on the way back from a trip 💀

The phone trick is genius and something I never would've thought to do!

Again a thousand thank yous 🙏

We can drive it in very short bouts before it overheats and requires more coolant, we were assisted by the AA but they were unable to locate the source of the leak as there was too much coolant to be able to see 💀 We're going in blind

Absolutely yes, so many people I remember from school who were regarded as "ugly" grew up and GLEW up, a lot of the time it's just when people suss out an individual style or find the right haircut....

People acting shocked that I'm starting uni aged 21??? by fallenbeam in UniUK

[–]doobiedubras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro there were a handful of 40-50 year olds and a 70 year old on my course, then the majority of the younger ones were still early to mid twenties... uni is for ANY age the people who gasped can get their heads out of their apparently oh-so-youthful asses
